How dare these commoners start to digest what is literally the largest and most carefully managed corporate culture bomb of all time

someone is actually arguing on the âinternet memes are not insanely stupidâ team?
Iâm saying if it didnât happen I would be deeply, deeply worried. People distorting the movie in their own way is inevitable as the macrophage of culture breaks down this foreign body of a work. The content in question isnât even offensive, so Iâm not sure what there is to get bent out of shape over. Someone reacts to the movie in their own way (in a way you can 100%, completely ignore!) and it ruins your own enjoyment of it? That doesnât seem a little dramatic?

youâre annoyed by me getting annoyed by memechildren
Look, Iâve said my piece about why I think how a billion dollar Disney movie needs to be chopped up into little pieces for people to take or leave and own or ignore and anything from this point on is basically going to be a schoolyard argument. I donât actually have anything against you @stylo so letâs leave it at this.
can someone explain to me how and why these douchebags started referring to everything as a cuckold
it really seems like general ripper-grade castration fear at best
I think I answered my own question
and we all know thereâs none of that
haha cuck ball
Just the new way of saying âfaggotâ right, the forceful consonants, the implication of dreaded weakness, treachery and deviance

Saw this last night, thought it was fantastic. I really, really love that Finn was a stormtrooper.
Expected everything about Han and Chewie to be cringe-inducing pandering crap, and instead found myself loving every single scene they were in.
Definitely going to see this again.
Found myself bored at least 5 times during the course of this overpadded movie. I am glad I only paid 5 dollars and 50 cents to watch it. There wasnât anything offensive but thatâs the best this movie could muster. I was honestly disappointed Oscar Isaac was off screen for so long, because he came the closest to injecting actual charisma into the proceedings. The new robot had a cute design. Daisy Ridley was pretty atrocious at acting and contributed to the feeling of forgettable Doctor Who episode.
I just found myself getting annoyed at how much this was basically a Marvel movie, complete with the âwe will tell this story in another movie/comic bookâ nods and such. It wasnât a bad movie, but it wasnât good either. Sure looked like it cost a lot of money, though.
I dunno, the dream sequence or vision or whatever it was was a bit on the nose, but everything else felt more like part of their epic quest to create an extremely faithful simulation of a new hope, remember things like the clone wars, Jabba the Hutt, etc. were all mentioned offhand before ever being introduced in depth.
And then thereâs all the lore that basically only existed in toy form. (Is the word âmandalorianâ ever even mentioned in the movies?)
The characters felt like they were made to mesh the three generations of Star Wars fans together:
BB8 for the kids
Finn, Rey and Ren for the YA crowd
Original actors for the ones that started with Episodes IV-VI
I would be more alright with Rey if there was some context to it. Her bumbling around with the Millenium Falcon and fiddling with controls elsewhere was fine (fit in with her lifestyle as a scavenger but has never really had the practical experience). The figuring out Force powers in only hours and becoming more capable than Ren doesnât have as much of a background since she was never exposed to it until these last couple of days and only Kenobi had shown off influencing enemies to do his bidding before this movie.
I also was getting tired of the constant remixing of the previous episodes into this one. It felt too afraid of standing on its own and relied too heavily on nostalgia to make it stand out.
The whole time Poe was wrecking dudes (shamefully only one space battle, cmon guys you kinda had them floating around near the oscillator twiddling their thumbs while you were busy passing on the torch) I was wishing their was some reference to Wedge Antilles as the original ace pilot. Wondering if they didnât note that because of his greater standing in the EU Rogue Squadron book series instead and wanted Poe as their mascot for Rogue One?
Wedge was gonna be in the movie, but the actor turned it down D:
whoa thatâs too bad. i just googled him and he looks hella good still. has aged better than most anyone else. i didnât even know he was british 
Heâs Ewan McGregorâs uncle and reportedly told him to turn down a role in the Star Wars franchise before McGregor signed on to the prequels.
He and Alec Guinness could have started a British Thespians who hate being in Star Wars club.
I think it was a fine film, I liked Kylo Ren (and find that emo Kylo Ren twitter hilarious, sue me), but iâm basically obsessed with the way Star Wars IV - VI shot/edited the space-plane battles and this movie more or less came through for me in that regard. Why canât other movies do dog fights as good as Star Wars?
how did i not watch this until today
Oh yeah, the space combat was great and I wish there were more of it in cinema. This is kind of why I have such a guilty pleasure for the otherwise terrible Wing Commander.
what a plot twist at the end when she went to the planet and found colonel christopher blair of the terran confederation. I did not see that coming
